Established in 1915, Caffe Dante is a beloved restaurant in the heart of Greenwich Village that serves delicious bites and drinks.
Dante has been a beacon for the community of Greenwich Village since it opened its doors in 1915. Now a registered New York City landmark, this modest meeting house has always attracted people from all walks of life: famous actors, writers, and musicians, to the down-at-heel of the beatnik generation, all of whom have found solace in its relaxed and unpretentious environs. Here are some of the signature items you must try.
Every memorable meal starts with something as simple as bread and cheese. Dante's housemade focaccia is baked fresh, and served with a side of fresh ricotta and salsa peperoncini that accompany the bread perfectly.
Don't overlook the amazing spread of appetizers at Dante. The juicy, plump Burrata is an absolute must. It's paired with bountiful heirloom cherry tomatoes and taggiasca olives with basil oil and oregano. The toasted rye on the side adds a nice crisp to each bite. The Proscuitto San Daniele and cavillon sweet melon drizzled with olive oil pair perfectly well. Finally, the Angus beef hand-chopped steak tartare melts in your mouth. The tartare is topped with pickles and capers, and served with crostini.
From the pasta to the fish, Dante knows how to whip up delicious entrees. The Tagliatelle al limone in rich pesto sauce is topped with crunchy pistachio and a generous portion of stracciatella cheese to add the nice, creamy texture to the dish. Pappardelle all'ragu is a classic dish made with wild boar, and topped with parmigiano reggiano and parsley. The pappardelle has the perfect al dente texture. Finally the Roasted Mediterranean Branzino is cooked with perfect crispy texture on the outside with tender inside, and served with refreshing arugula and fennel salad.
No matter how full, make sure to leave some room for dessert. Dante's signature cannoli features crispy and crunch cannoli shells filled with generous piping of ricotta, and each end has pistachio and candied orange slice. Dante's signature Tiramisu is an absolutely delectable dessert. Each bite oozes with strong espresso flavor, and the cream and soaked lady fingers just melt in your mouth.
